Altar Society

The St. Luke Altar Society was organized in 1996. Its members minister to the community by enhancing the environment for our worship. This ministry promotes Christian Living and Service in St. Luke Parish, as well as to foster the spiritual development of its members. Responsibilities include caring for the altar, altar linens and vestments, decorating the church according to liturgical season, and helping to maintain the beauty of our sanctuary. If you are interested, please call the Parish Office (915-585-0255).

Children's Liturgy

Children (K-5) are invited to attend Children’s Liturgy of the Word in the Guadalupe Chapel every week (except the LifeTeen Mass). The readings are proclaimed and there is an explanation on the readings with an application to daily life given by a Catechist. Volunteers are always welcome. Contact: Mary Hernandez (585-0255)

Eucharistic & Lector Ministries

Training for these ministries is provided through the Tepeyac Institute, a formation center for ministers in the Diocese of El Paso. The Certification Program consists of both the Christian Formation Program and the Ministry Training Program. Formation is a 12-week theology course offered to all. Training is specific to the ministry for which you are being certified. Certification is valid for three years. Tepeyac also offers re-certification courses. Eucharistic Ministers assist the priest at Mass by helping to distribute communion to the community of faithful. Lectors assist at Mass by proclaiming the Word of God in the Assemply.

Ministries of Worship

"Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy. Such participation by the Christian people as "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people (1 Pet. 2:9; cf. 2:4-5), is their right and duty by reason of their baptism."CONSTITUTION
ON THE SACRED LITURGYSACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM, ¶14.
